New York City Public Schools confirmed it will ban roughly 600,000 students through eighth grade from using generative AI in the 2026-27 school year; high schoolers get only limited access via AI literacy classes and approved programs. Critics including @kimmonismus call it a major mistake that denies disadvantaged students access to what could become the most powerful and affordable personal tutor ever created.
